This review is on Tokyo Joe from 1949 which stars: Humphrey Bogart, Alexasnder Knox, Florence Marly, Sessue Hayakawa, Jerome Courtland, Gordon Jones and is directed by Stuart Heisler.
The first American film to be shot on location in Japan since WWII, his gripping thriller finds Bogart as an expatriate American in Tokyo trying to win back his ex-wife (Florence Marly) from lawyer Mark Landis (Alexander Knox) while contending with blackmail and extortion from the former head of the Japanese secret service (Sessue Hayakawa).
This is a TCM Vault release in partnership with SONY and has a great video and audio quality. This is part of a five Bogart film collection from TCM. The film is presented in b&w, Full screen and runs for about 88mins (1hr 28mins).
I would give this film a 7.5/10 and the DVD a 4/5. Overall this is a great DVD release and is a film I recommend.
